Paris Turbo Ring Pipe
I have heard alot about this pipe, and I guess its a really good pipe. It is good for me because I guess it is great for explosive low-end power, which is what I like. I just need to know where to get it. Where can I find it and what is the cheapest I can get it for? Or are there any other pipes that offer just as much if not, more than the paris turbo ring?
Thanks for your help,
Kevin

You can buy it on eBay. Do a search and it should come up.
Take a look at the link below to read about tuned pipes.

Good Luck!

Kevetz,
In another post you had said that you have a CVEC pipe, "I got a CVEC. The thing is awesome." If you actually do, why are you interested in the "ring" pipe? Unlike the ring pipe, the CVEC is the "best of both worlds" being it will give a boost throughout the engines RPM band. Is it that your really don't have either pipe or is it that you don't really know what you want?

Well krusty,
I am interested in the ring pipe because the cvec pipe is out lawed in competition racing. I like my cvec pipe alot. In addition to that, I will get another nice pipe for competition racing.
Krusty, you are starting to piss me off. I have seen many of your smart ass answers, some not even answering a question, like in this case. You do not answer a question with a question. Think about that one krusty. Now do not get me wrong though, some of your answers are very helpful, but stay out of posts that you have no intention of actually helping out.

Krusty Said: How can I or anyone else answer you questions when we don't know what you are talking about. I don't even think you know that. You say one thing, then in another post another thing.
Crash Me Over- I can tell you that I saw a definite power increase. When you asked which rig I ran it on, I think you mean which hole the cotter pin is in. If that was your question, then I run it on hole number 3. If you are asking which car I run it on then I run it on my RTR 3.

OK.....I was wondering how much of a difference you may have noticed. If it was noticeable then I'd think you must be happy with the $$$ investment?
Yes...rig = your RTR 3.
Thanks!

In your other post I explained what a CVEC pipe was and how it operated. Your reply was, "****! I didn't know that. I got a CVEC. " I assume the asterisks are an expletive? Until then, you had no idea what a CVEC pipe was all about. There are many other things that you don't know about and there is nothing wrong with that. If someone asks you a question, it is because they want to understand what info you require. That being said, I would think you would try to learn as much as you can instead of "blasting" people.

Kevetz,
I know exactly what you are talking about in your post, the CVEC pipe is not a ROAR pipe. Some people are not racers and may not be familiar with sanctioned racing.
Basically ROAR regulates what can and cannot be used in R/C racing. Its somewhat like what NASCAR is to real car racing.
Keep in mind though that while ROAR is the sanctioning body that most tracks recognize, those tracks sometimes seem to have thier own take on the rules. Even so most tracks will not allow a CVEC pipe on the track.
Anyhow, I wont argue about the performance of the CVEC. In my opinion its always just been a novelty of sorts and never very popular except with bashers.
The Paris on the other hand is worth its weight in gold, one of these most popular designs on the tracks and it is a ROAR pipe.
Not only that but in my opinion THE BEST pipe for bottom end throttle response on the racing side of things.
While I would not use the paris on the Touring car side of the things, I would not go onto a off road track without it.
As for where to get it?
http://64.70.208.72/speedtechrc/150.html
Speedtech appears to be out of stock but thats where I would rather buy it. A call to them might produce but not sure.
http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/serv...tResultCount=1
Looks like they have it for a couple bucks more. Looks like its in stock.

Gee Dbow,
I already answered that question in a previous post by kevetz. "You heard correct! As far as I know, dual tipped pipes, such as CVEC, are illegal from all sanctioned ROAR racing events." I guess is not official or correct until you give your reiterated answer.
Well, I hope kevets understands now.

Krusty....I was giving Dbow a thumbs up for finding the links to the tuned pipe. I tried but didn't come up with good ones.

Other thread
Krusty,
I hear what u saying, however if you are going to base a post on material that lives in another thread then please give us a path to that thread so that we can be up to speed with you guys.
I realize its not your duty to inform everyone of the previous post but if comments are going to be made, it seems a link to the previous thread would be more constructive.
That being said my perspective of the post was because Kevetz99 is looking for a place to buy the Turbo Ring pipe. It does not seem to me that he is bewildered or unsure of what he wants in his post but rather direct with the question.
It seemed to me that you Krusty were questioning his desires for the Turbo ring pipe, as in why would he wants the Paris when the CVEC is such a fine pipe.
That is when I jumped in explaining to you for the most part about the ROAR rules and such.
Seems to me that you sir are the one that likes to stir things up a bit, either that or things need to be reiterated for you.
I assume you like to take it how you give it so I am just giving it how I see it.
Now if you would like we could go at it for a bit, But I wont give you the pleasure as you seem to enjoy getting a rise out of people on this forum.
I will also say that you seem like you have a vast amount of knowledge in the R/C hobby so why not just inform people rather than being so nit picky. I can understand strong feelings on certain subjects as I have a few myself but it really does not take much to frustrate some people. When you read things like "your pissing me off" and so forth that does not mean to piss a little harder. I must say that its certainly not the best way to inform someone that they are frustrating you, but certainly gets the point across.
I really don't see how these pissing matches take shape, I mean we are all here sharing a common hobby. The main impetus to be here is to ask a question or answer a question.
That my friend should not have to be reiterated.
Thanks
DBow

Dbow,
Your overly verbose replies are sucking up all the bandwidth. If you agree or don't agree with someone's answer or have something of importance to add, fine, but remember, a short and to the point answer is the best bet. No need to regurgitate someone else's reply.
Thanx.

No need to worry DUDE. You won't ever get a STUPID answer from me or any answer for that matter, although I DO know the answer to your Paris Pipe question. Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people. BTW, before you get a pipe, get a dictionary. It's OREGON!

Applejax7,
The Paris is a great pipe, lot's of low end power and not bad on the top end either. If you're looking for more info on tuned pipes, check out this article:
http://home.attbi.com/~keubstudios/t...ipes/pipes.htm
It's very informative. Oh yeah, don't be too mad at Krusty either. Feel sorry for him. He's one of those rare individuals who thinks he knows it all, but isn't quite smart enough to figure out that he's the only one who he impresses. He probably had his luch money taken by the BIG kids every day.
Krusty, let me save you the time and the thought. Yeah I'm probably an A hole and don't know nothin' compared to a scholar like you however I do know how to treat people. If you're not here to help and co-exist with people whom you might help with your wealth of knowledge, why be here at all.
Don't be a clown!

You are correct! I've tried to help all of you ungrateful "newbies" with my R/C knowlwdge and instead of offering any thanks, you flame me instead. This is typical from recalcitrant (look that up applejax7) children. I thought you "guys" are on this forum because you want answers, but I guess you already know it all. Understand, I am (was) here to help. I'm not here to learn, YOU ARE. I don't require the help of this forum YOU DO. I do feel sympathy for your teachers. As it is now, I'm just an observer. Remember, "A flame begets a flame." Do you want to continue? I hope not.

Krusty,
I don't believe anybody is ungrateful and I don't believe that anybody will question that you know the hobby and have information to offer.
The point is this, people are not here to be made fun of or to be made to feel stupid. Some people mis-spell words or may not know the proper terms for certain things. This does not mean they are stupid. Remember, you have not always had the knowledge that you have now and you once were one of the people that you like to make fun of.
Your sarcasm is at times entertaining however sometimes it is also mean. That being said, please continue to share your knowledge of this hobby with the rest of us who wish to learn.
As for the question of whether or not I wish to continue, I'm game. The ball is in your court. Do what you will with it.

Applejax7 came from nowhere and started to flame me, then he wants an answer to his question. I'm I missing something? You disrespect someone and then ask them for something? I don't think so! Like I had said a flaming begets a flaming. From where I'm at, I gave him what he deserved. Hopfully he learned something about repect, though I doubt it. Like before, I'm an observer. You don't need my help. Let the newbies help the newbies. You are much more comfortable among your own.

Krusty,
I disagree, I've read your post's and I must say that I agree with what you say a majority of the time. I think a lot pf people respect your opinion and want to hear your advice.
It just seems to me that people don't want to be bagged on or dogged just because you disagree with what somebody says or because their terminology was imperfect. If you've already answered a question somewhere along the line and somebody else comes up with a similar answer it's no big deal. It doesn't mean that it's official because it came from someone other than you. Maybe the guy didn't read back far enough or whatever. Don't take it personally.
One thing I'd like to clear up though, I am new to this forum however I'm not what you'd call a newbie. I've been at it sine my first Tamiya Blackfoot about 13 years ago.
I can't speak for everybody else, but I believe there are many people out there that can benefit from your help (myself included). Let's just keep it friendly and remember that were all here because we love to talk about R/C.

One thing I'd like to clear up though, I am new to this forum however I'm not what you'd call a newbie. I've been at it sine my first Tamiya Blackfoot about 13 years ago.
I can't speak for everybody else, but I believe there are many people out there that can benefit from your help (myself included). Let's just keep it friendly and remember that were all here because we love to talk about R/C.
